			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are your looking for work at home income? Do you want only part time work at home? If you are ready to make the jump to a work at home business there are many to choose from. You can check for online information for home businesses or you can go with your own idea.</p>
<p>With spring just around the corner this is a great time to begin a starter plant business. Starter plants are the beginning of a large vegetable and flower garden. In order for a garden to grow well starting plants indoors prior to outside planting your garden will be well on it’s way before the traditional spring planting time.</p>
<p>Check with your local home and garden improvement center for supplies and information. Your local library has all the information you need to study up on how to start plants for gardeners. Check out only a few books at a time and do a quick study. If you already have gardening experience you can start right away.</p>
<p>Buying your supplies on a budget is possible if you limit what you are going to grow. You need containers and these can be purchased as sets with as many as two dozen plant spots. Use only two to three seeds in each little container. As the plant begins to grow you can remove small plants until you have only one good plant in each section.</p>
<p>Water according to directions. Do not over water. Make sure you place the plants in a warm area near a window with as much direct sunlight as possible. It usually takes about 4-8 weeks for the plants to reach transplanting size.</p>
<p>For the very budget minded you can save containers and recycle. Empty cans, egg cartons, ice cream containers and just about any other small container can be used. Purchase a good starter soil for your seeds. It doesn’t take much to get your plants started. Use good drainage.</p>
<p>Start with plants like spinach because the young leaves are most often used in salads. They won’t have to be transplanted if your customer does not wish to grow a garden. They can place the plant on a window sill and use the young leave daily.</p>
<p>Green beans are another great starter plant. There is a large variety to choose from so each customers taste is supplied with their favorite. From yellow wax beans to the standard and tasty green bean these plants are a good seller.</p>
<p>Tomato plants are always in demand. There are so many variety to choose from, but limit your choice to just one or a few different kinds. Use cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and beefsteak tomato plants.</p>
<p>Offer your starter plants to neighbors, online advertising, word of mouth, fliers at the local store and even farmers markets in your area. This is a great little business with a lot of rewards and with careful planning it will supply a part time income year round.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Basil is a member of the Mint family that has extremely aromatic leaves that are used in cooking. The mention of Basil reminds us of Italian cooking, though it originated from India.  A fragrant and tasty leaf is the reason why basil is grown, although its flowers are also edible. It thrives in warm and sunny weather (above 70F). It grows up to 6 feet like the Sweet Basil, but there are also dwarf varieties that can be raised in pots. The most popular varieties are-</p>
<ul>
<li>Sweet Basil- 3 to 6 feet in height, lemony taste</li>
<li>Genovese Basil- bigger leaves than Sweet Basil, mixed flavor taste</li>
<li>Mexican Spice Basil-green leaves and purple flowers, cinnamon scent</li>
<li>Spicy Clove Basil- quick growing and compact plants good for containers</li>
<li>Lemon Basil- small leaves, lemony tang</li>
<li>Red Rubin- purple color, good for vinegar</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Growing Basil-</p>
<p>Basil can be grown from seed. If it is only for kitchen consumption, you need only two pots full. It is quite a prolific producer of those exotic flavored leaves. Basil seed germination needs fairly high and stable temperature, which makes it ideal for indoor planting. If you start with a small container, just put 6 seeds maximum. It has a unique characteristic wherein, when it reaches the height of 6”, control must be done to prevent flowering, which leads to seeding. Because seeding of Basil plant lessen the flavor of the leaves. And to prevent flowering, top set of leaves must be pinched or cut.</p>
<p>How to plant Basil</p>
<ol>
<li>To have adequate water drainage in basil pot, it is advisable to put coarse gravel at the bottom. Put a tea bag at the bottom whole drainage to serve as filter. This will allow only water to be drained and not compost. Make sure that the compost or pot soil mix is weed and moist free before sowing.</li>
<li>Sowing can be done indoor anytime.  Or if it’s outdoor, it must be done in March or April, to avoid spring frost.</li>
<li>Sow thinly with just several seeds per pot, and then cover them with ½ cm thick compost. In about 2 weeks, seedling will appear. When it has more than 5 leaves already, it can be transferred to a more permanent or bigger container. Cover the pot with plastic sheet to maintain its humidity and moisture.</li>
<li>If grown indoor, locate the pot near window that will give 6 to 8 hours sunlight daily. If grown outdoor, place it in a shaded area to avoid cold winds.</li>
<li>Fertile soil is need for potted plants. Compost or manure must be introduced before sowing.</li>
<li>When watering, it must be directed at the base of the plant, not on the leaves and stems.</li>
<li>Pinch out its flowers as they appear, to direct all the nutrients to leaf flavor building.</li>
<li>When harvesting, pick a few leaves on top of the plant. Indoor basil plant will supply you leaves all year round.</li>
</ol>
<p>Harvested leaves can be stored in air-tight containers, after drying in a room for about a week or in a dehydrator. Leaves stored this way will last for one year.</p>
